The Hills’s Stephanie Pratt is in trouble yet again!

The 23-year-old reality star was pulled over early Sunday morning and charged with a DUI after a night out at sister-in-law Holly Montag’s birthday party at Empire nightclub Saturday night.

Pratt blew a .08 and .09 into the breathalizer thingy.  Legal limit in California is .08, babe.

Even worse, she’d been blabbin’ on and on Saturday evening before the party started that she was tired and would be going home early.  Pratt even tweeted “its my sissy @hollymontags bday party! just finished dinner and going to Empire but im pretty tired aka yes i am the party pooper” mere hours before.

Worst of all?  Part of the reason she was so “tired” was that she’d been up late the night before, bummed about having lost a friend in a car accident a day earlier. Pratt was interviewed by TMZ telling everyone to “drive safe.”

Ironic!  Seems as though she’d been working overtime trying to shed her party girl image but was only slapped in the face with the cold, hard truth.

Clean your act up, Stephanie Pratt!  But like, for reals, this time, not just for the cameras.  Take a cab home next time, dummy.

Whoa!  ShanDo’s getting a reality series!

Socialite Life has the scoop on Beverly Hills, 90210 / Charmed’s bad girl Shannen Doherty:

Hoping to leave behind her reputation for being difficult, Shannen Doherty is striking out on her own with a reality television series tentatively entitled, Shannen.

The 38-year-old Beverly Hills, 90210 alum recently teased of her upcoming project, “I’ll be back on TV very soon. There will be an announcement very soon. I promise you that.” A source dishes more details to E! Online, “They’re still figuring out exactly how it will be done. It may even have some scripted elements.”

Doherty has reportedly been shopping the show around to several networks and according to the snitch, “She’s excited about it, because she doesn’t want that stigma anymore of being a bitch.”

This, I can totally get behind. Finally, a reality show I can relate to!

Eh, not really.  Just love ShanDo, is all.

Was anyone expecting Lauren Conrad to fade away in the celeb background after quitting The Hills?  Yeah, me too.

Turns out her bestselling young adult novel, L.A. Candy will be made into a full-length feature film!  The book follows 19-year-old protagonist Jane Roberts as she moves to Los Angeles and finds fame as a reality TV star.  Here’s what producer Marty Bowen had to say about the whole shebang:

“Lauren, who became an icon in that reality show world, came to us with a structure of how to tell the story in an interesting fashion that was separate and apart from the book.  We loved her take. Her book is an honest portrayal of what it must be like to set out to be normal, then sign on to become famous and eventually realize, wow, this isn’t at all what I’d planned for myself.

So interesting that Lauren would be able to create an honest portrayal of what it must be like to be a reality star.  She’s super creative.

Lauren plans to write more books involving the same character.  Should I read these?  Is the first one out in paperback yet?

Wake me when the movie’s out.

Oh, sheesh.  It looks like Megan Hauserman will be getting her day in the sun after all.

Following news that leading Megan Wants a Millionaire contestant Ryan Jenkins was accused of murdering his wife and then subsequently committing suicide, the Hauserman VH1 reality dating series was canceled.

Now, seems like the network and aspiring trophy wife are working out another deal.

RadarOnline.com has the scoop:

“VH1 is giving Megan her own reality show,” a source confirms. When the show was abruptly canceled “they promised Megan her own show…that’s how they bought her silence.”

As for the show’s format, the source says it will probably move away from a dating-themed show and will unscripted despite Hauserman asking for a scripted show.

Hmm… Sounds kinda shady, doesn’t it?  I suppose a VH1’s gotta do what it’s gotta do.

Totally not surprised that all it took for Megan Hauserman to keep quiet was the promise of another reality show.  That babe’s been on more reality shows than any publicity whore out there - Rock of Love 2, I Love Money, Rock of Love Charm School, Beauty and the Geek…

An un-scripted non-dating show, eh? What do you think the new one will be about?

I’ll admit it, I’ve been quietly keeping up with NYC Prep since the show’s premiere.  Gossip Girl’s on hiatus, dudes; I have nowhere else to turn.

Today I came across this snarky li’l animation by KCS Cougar Productions spoofing the cast.  Take a look:

Sadly, kinda spot on.  I especially like cartoon Sebastian’s nasally, garbled voice and Jessie’s Operation Smile namedrops.  The PC, on the other hand, needs more angst, says me.  He’s bitchy, but not faux-self-loathing enough to be a dead ringer.

New NYC Prep episode tonight on Bravo, 9 p.m!  Be there.  You know you can’t stay away.

WOW!  I finally caught up on Daisy of Love this weekend, and I maintain that it’s the best VH1 dating show EVER.

If you caught the season finale, you saw that my original pick London won, with my second pick (you know, while London was M.I.A.) Flex coming in as runner-up and 12 Pack / Dave third.

Now I am DYING for a reunion special, but in the meantime, I’ve gotten my ridic-fix at the VH1 blog, where they’ve been posting interviews with  12 Pack / Dave and Flex, and video interviews with London.  Some excerpts:

12 Pack / Dave

“I would have liked to go the full distance to the finale, rather than just being left in the middle of the parking lot after being in Hawaii for a matter of hours. I didn’t even get to spend 24 hours there. We basically had one dinner date to plead out cases as to why we should stay. I really just got screwed. The weirdest part is the first time I saw Daisy, after all was said and done and everything was wrapped up, sure enough, we picked up right where we left off. She was like, “How have you been? You going to come back to my hotel and hang out?” And I was kind of like, “You had your chance. I mean we can be friends, but this isn’t Daisy of Love anymore. I don’t have to sit here and listen to everything you say anymore.””

Read the interview in full here.

Flex

“I liked Big Rig and 12 Pack. Fox, too. Cage was a good dude. He burned me, but I still like him. We were just both drunk, whatever. I hated everybody else. I hated Chi Chi to death. I wanted to stab him in the face… I thought he was just putting on a front because he was on the show, like, “I’m a big teddy bear sweetheart stalker,” but then I hung out with him after the show and I realized that he’s always like that. We went to McDonalds and he’s like, “Can I pretty please get a double cheeseburger please?” And I was like, “Dude, you just said ‘please’ twice, and one of those times you said, ‘pretty please,’ to the people at McDonalds.”

Read the interview in full here.

London

On his relationship with Daisy:

Check out the rest of the video interviews here.

Not bad, eh?  You really should read/watch the interviews in full - especially Flex’s.

Ah, well that’s it for Daisy of Love, I suppose.  I gotta say, I don’t have much hope for Daisy and London as a couple, mostly on account of he doesn’t seem like much of a commitment dude.  However, every cloud has its silver lining: make way for Daisy of Love 2!

Oh please oh please oh please…

The fine folks at FourFour have put together an amazing video compiling reality show stars saying various iterations of “I’m not here to make friends.”

Check out peeps from Project Runway, Scream Queens, Big Brother, Hell’s Kitchen, For the Love of Ray J, America’s Next Top Model and others uttering that famous sentiment:

Genius.  I didn’t realize there’d be so many!  Though yes, maybe I did.

FourFour should make one with all the “I’m here for you” / “She’s not here for you” clips from dating reality shows while they’re at it, too.  I bet there’s at least a dozen of those per series.

Daisy of Love returned Sunday after a two-week hiatus (the longest two weeks of my life!) with a killer episode.  Things are getting close, with four guys left and only two to be taken to the finale.

The show starts predictably enough, with Daisy and London whispering sweet nothings into each other’s ears.  Sinister decides to swoop in by climbing a fence and giving Daisy a flower, losing a ring in the process.  In return, Daisy barely notices him, but takes the flower and starts using it as a prop to flirt with London before making out with him. Sinister gets crazy pissed and starts smashing things around the house, all culminating in a ruined camera lens and a broken guitar at the bottom of the pool.  Eek!

The next morning, Daisy’s got a surprise for the fellas.  Enter the classic dating show return-of-the-exes scenario, in which each contestants’ ex-girlfriend returns to tell Daisy about her former flame.  Daisy sits down to lunch with the girls before the boys can get to ‘em.  Here’s what each gal had to say about each guy:

12 Pack / Dave’s ex-girlfriend Cathy: Snoozer!  Nothing but nice!  She’s known him since middle school and had only good things to say.

Flex’s ex-girlfriend Kia: They dated two years ago, but tried to reconnect about four months ago, at which point Flex ignored her calls. He broke her heart!

London’s friend Natasha: Here’s a shocker - London was dating a girl back home recently… and he’s a sex addict.

Sinister’s ex-girlfriend Ashley: They ended on good terms, but they did get in one altercation along the way, which involved him smacking her across the face.  Eek squared!

Next, Daisy decides to take each girl and her corresponding gent in to meet with a psychic.

The analysis, from a lovely psychic named Laurie:

12 Pack / Dave: He was a hero in a past life.  He’s a good guy, and they have a good connection - and if anyone is to hurt someone in the relationship, it’d be Daisy.  Good karma all around.

Flex: There’s still a pretty strong bond between him and his ex.  That’s about it.

London: The chemistry is super strong.  London is a man who loves women and appreciates that they exist.  However, if he were to commit to being with Daisy, he would not cheat on her. “London is a homeless sex addict who my psychic thinks is perfect for me. Go figure!” says Daisy.

Sinister: Of all the guys, the connection with him is the weakest.  He’s also a bad boy (he wishes!), but he wouldn’t hurt anyone on purpose.

The psychic then ranks the dudes in the order of most compatible to least: 12 Pack / Dave, London, Flex, Sinister. Daisy is more confused than ever!

After all the tarot cards are put away, the gang + exes go outside to party it up.  Flex’s girl Kia lets him know that London’s friend mentioned that London was seeing someone.  Flex is floored and tells 12 Pack / Dave, who responds similarly.

Flex then calls London out in front of everybody and starts a huge yelling match, calling London the f word (the other one!) and such.  The fight nearly turns physical, when a drunken Kia takes a spill on top of the picnic table, knocking everything over and diverting everyone’s attention.  Close call!

Regardless, they decide its time for the ex-gfs to go home.  On their way out, Daisy pulls Kia aside and asks her if she would get back with Flex were he to be sent home.  Kia tells her no, because she sees the way Flex looks at Daisy, and its the same way he used to look at her.  Swoon!  Daisy takes this to heart and goes back to be with the boys.

Now that we’re calm, Daisy asks each guy who they would bring to the finale, if they had to pick one.  Each guy takes their turn and picks 12 Pack / Dave, which is somewhat confusing to me, but I’ll go with it, cuz that guy’s starting to crack me up.  Daisy decides then, on the spot, that 12 Pack / Dave will be going to the finale, case closed. 12 Pack / Dave is totally stunned.

Next day: elimination time!  The boys are all up on the chopping block, with the exception of 12 Pack / Dave who’s in for sure.  Daisy starts with London, telling him she has as much chemistry with him as she has doubts.  Regardless, she wants to take a chance and let him stay.  You’re going to Maui for the finale, London!

Next up is Sinister.  She has him approach the stand and sends him home.  She doesn’t have strong feelings for him and was only keeping him in the house to not hurt his feelings.  And besides, who wants to see that guy in a bathing suit?

As Sinister leaves the room sniffling (”If she doesn’t want me, maybe someone else will”), Daisy turns to Flex.  In a pretty predictable twist, Daisy decides to keep him, too, because of the way his ex-gf says he looks at her.  Flex is stunned!  But stoked!

So to re-cap, Flex, 12 Pack / Dave, and London are going to Maui with Daisy!  Wahoooo!  I couldn’t have planned it better myself.

Are you kidding me?  Former Hills star Lauren Conrad has made the New York Times Best-Seller list!

L.C.’s young adult novel L.A. Candy has made the list for the second week in a row.  Here’s what Conrad had to say about the whole shebang:

“If someone said to me five years ago when this all started that I would one day make the New York Times Best Seller list I wouldn’t have believed it. I am so honored that it is now a reality. It was such a compliment to be included in something with such established names.”

Darn tootin’ it’s a compliment!  Homegirl dropped out of fashion college, her high school was a TV show, and she has no writing experience.  On top of all that, she’s not the brightest bulb.

Sour grapes, Kat.  Sour grapes.

Hope she remembered to thank her ghostwriter.

Happy almost-4th of July, everybody!

In order to get the countdown to the long weekend started off right, I present to you a photo of Rock of Love reality star / Poison frontman Bret Michaels dressed as a pirate from a recent People magazine photo spread:

Swashbucklers seem oddly patriotic, don’t they?  Especially if they’re Bret Michaels!  The U.S. of A is full of rebels and rock stars, after all.  Suck it, Queen Mum!
